The concentration of pollutants inside the vehicle is…

<p>... at least back in 2001.&nbsp;</p> <p>What caused this high concentration were the very simple particle filters used at that time, which used the so-called ‘coffee filter principle’. At the time, this was a satisfactory solution for filtering particulate matter - but not in times of increasing health awareness. Because in addition to particulate matter, there are other pollutants in the air that can enter the vehicle interior freely and accumulate over the entire driving period.</p> <p>To prevent this, it is not only worth upgrading to an activated carbon or even HEPA filter, but also changing it regularly. Details of what to keep in mind when changing the filter are explained below.&nbsp;</p>

Zinc flake coatings: the anti-corrosion solution?

<p>Corrosion and control arms. A topic that, above all, owners of VW Golf 7 vehicles often find themselves confronted with.&nbsp;</p> <p>The reason for this being the special design of the rear, lower control arm. Not only does the spring sit in the rear axle suspension, but the whole control arm is open at the top. This means that dirt and water can get to the spring’s seat at all times and water can enter through cracks in the finish.&nbsp;</p> <p>As a result, the drainage holes get clogged up, preventing the water from draining away fully. In addition, if the finish is damaged by stone impacts, the material underneath can rust so badly over time that the spring penetrates the control arm.&nbsp;</p> <p>In a case like this, the safety of the vehicle is no longer guaranteed and continued use of the vehicle is not advisable.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p>

The MEYLE HD re-engineering process

<p>On our website, we explain the MEYLE HD principle as follows:&nbsp;</p> <p><br /><i>“Our MEYLE HD products are technically superior to the OE part, whilst the reinforced and optimised design and high-quality materials make them more durable and reliable – as a result, they simply last longer and often outperform OEM parts.”&nbsp;</i></p> <p><br /><strong>But what does that actually mean?&nbsp;</strong></p>
